A factory in Higashi-osaka “Tsushima Co., Ltd.” specializing in injection molds. Speedy delivery is possible through cooperation with a factory in China. A subcontract factory in China has been asked to manufacture "nesting", which is a mold part, and our factory manufactures "mold base" which is the outer periphery of injection mold. Receiving a child from China and assembling it. -Why are only mold bases manufactured in-house? Representative Tachibana “The molds are big and heavy, so if you put everything out of the country, shipping costs will increase and you will not reduce costs. If all the molds are shipped, it will take time to deliver them.In the first place, we are thinking about the best way to help customers with cost reduction and speedy delivery, so it will cost and slow down It doesn't make sense. ”Tsushima's strengths are not just fast and cheap. Mr. Tsushima has long been involved in repairs and maintenance until the customer discards the mold, and it is important to take care of molds from other companies. “When going overseas to the mold base, it will be further outsourced from the factory requesting the nesting, so it will be physically and psychologically distant. It's good, but I'm worried when I think about the follow-up that we value if we can't see where and how it is made, so I'm particular about assembly in-house. " The child is overseas. The base is our company. It makes a lot of sense. It is said that even if only the child enters the facility, the burden on the company is reduced and the overtime is almost zero. And on the day of this research, we were able to meet with the president of China's subcontract factory, Mr. Bee, who was just in Japan! President B. “I like the attitude of Japanese companies to work. Mr. Tsushima is sincere and trusts us because he keeps his promises. We want to work more together in the future because we can give opinions and have conversations. ”In addition to our ability to make proposals, the atmosphere of employees who are easy to consult at home is one of Tsushima's attractions. I was able to feel it again in the story of the president. ●● Bonus ●● Originally, the interview was in the factory, but I was a research staff member, and I fell injured with a bicycle in the morning, and my leg was injured. I talked about the circumstances and asked for a telephone interview. I came to our company ... Kindness. (Although it is usually strong per wind) And commemorative photo with President Bee. Everyone had a good smile (^^), and it was always fun for Tsushima-san! Thank you very much for the inconvenience this time! !
